Class History By Janice Curren Another year has come to a close, and our last at M.H.S. But all is not over yet. Let ' s just take a look at some of the highlights of our four enduring but unforgetable years in high school. Poor Mr. Scott. He must have plotted his resignation the moment he heard the roaring mob rushing down the halls, eager to begin its first reunion in room 14. As freshmen we were all in high spirits and definitely needed someone to dampen them a bit. Elected for this job was Kevin Murphy --the most able man for President. But he couldn ' t handle it alone --so Mike Bissell stepped up as vice -president and willingly reinforced the president in times of emergency. Stu Carlton successfully hoarded the class treasury; Linda Clapp wrote frantically at every meeting to keep up with every detail and Janice Curren kept the historian ' s reports. Mary Ann Sullivan very capably represented our class and its wild ideas in the student council body. As school activities got underway, we were all itching to do some- . thing ourselves j ust to show those upper classmen what an asset the freshmen were to the nigh school! So we engaged in the hearty job of selling coke at the home football games, but this was not enough. The big date came April 9th, when we proved an addition to the social success of M.H.S. with our first dance --a record hop starring Alan Dary. Mrs. Arnold pleasantly surprised those fortunate Latin I scholars with a trip to Boston to see Julius Caesar which was fun even though the movie proved a bit beyond our knowledge. The following September we decided to give Mr. Scott a rest and moved on to Miss Ellard and Mrs.Gadaier (Miss McBrien.) Once again class officers were elected, but there were no changes made from Freshman year. In spite of the adding and subtracting of members, our class remained a mob --but that was no major catastrophe. Miss Ellard put us right on our toes concerning our finances by selling Christmas cards, adding $37 to our treasury. Our next big function was the sophomore dance. Each activity period we racked our brains for a new and different title. We finally came up with a novelty -the Sophomore Dance. To compensate for our original name we hired the Collegiates as a band who really made the evening a great success socially as well as financially. Football, hockey, basketball I Suddenly sports seemed to be taking a large part of our time. The first couple of years warming the bench is pretty discouraging but just give us time. As the year came to a close, we suddenly realized that we had completed half our high school years. Just think --next year we would reach the grade of sophistication. But the following September we were sadly mistaken. We were the same old rambunctious group -- wouldn ' t we ever grow up?” Never- theless we managed to hold a class meeting under the able direction of Mr. Blackington and to choose the officers for the coming year. They were: president, Kevin Murphy; vice-president, Bobbie Ela; secretary, Linda Clapp; treasurer, Carol Mackintire; historian, Janice Curren; student council representatives, Mary Ann Sullivan and Mike Bissell. Our first important issue was how to make money. A record hop-- that was the answer. We really taxed our brains this time and decided to call it the Harvest Hop as it was to be held in October.
